Oddly, it serves neither audience that well - the casual viewer, that might have watched Marr in the past, gets easily put off by the adversarial arguing of the panel and the unfriendly nature of the programme; the person with an interest in politics finds the panel irrelevant and the overall tone too simplistic which means the programme comes up short compared to programmes such as the Sunday Politics in the past.

So yes, it is possible for a political programme to get the balance wrong.

Especially when it is about rehashing debates and not interrogating or analysing issues, as the debates add nothing new.
